metaldad Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) It is pretty clear now, they are Never getting in. The past year has been the biggest year they have had in a long time and R.S did a feature on them and still nothing. I really don't ever see them getting in now. They don't care and the fans should not care anymore. I am happy that Heart has a chance but I am sure when the final vote goes down Donna Summer will get it because after all, Nothing says Rock and Roll like Donna Summer.

Mara Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Okay, I like The Cure (well, I like the songs where Smith keeps his whining to a minimum, anyway. I really like "Just Like Heaven"). But The Cure is in NO way rock, nor were they ever. I think even the band would recoil in horror at being classified as "rock". Some irony in Jett et al getting in before Rush, given the history and rancor there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'm not surprised Rush wasn't nominated. Of the bands on the list i'd like to see GnR get in. Yes, it's sad what the band became but their impact on the music world during the late 80s and early 90s can't be ignored. I'd like to see Heart get in to but I doubt that will happen. They'll probably pick the Beastie Boys to get inducted instead because they're so rock n roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 War, The Spinners, Rufus/Chaka Khan, Donna Summer, Freddie King, Laura Nyro, Beasties, Cure - all great choices. Joan Jett? Really? Donovan? gethefukouttahere. Heart? I suppose so, at a stretch. RHCP??? ahfortheloveofgodandallthatisgoodandproper......lamest choice of the lot.

Lost In Xanadu Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Pretty sure having a snippet of Working Man on MNF last night is gonna help grease the wheels. In all honesty, I don't want them to get it. More accurately, I hope they get an offer and they tell them to shove it up their ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they wouldn't do it because they are a classy group, but man...it would be fantastic to have them decline the hall. I would be proud of them personally.

Khan Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 And Eric B and f***ing Rakim is nominated? The place is a TOTAL and COMPLETE joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softfilter Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 They out did themselves this year, The Cure? I guess mope rock that gave birth to goth and emo is considered enduring and will stand the test of time in the eyes of Rolling Stone magazine. So shallow... And geez they really want to make everyone believe that the disco era had substance beneath all that coke, glitter and white shoes. Rufus Chaka Khan, Donna Summer It's been said so many times before but it's true, how in the hell can they call it The ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME?????????

Nootch Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Who cares!!! That "Hall of Fame" is a complete joke. Rush have been inducted into MY Hall of Fame and that is all that counts to me. They have been marginalized their entire careers, why should now be any different. This is to the "Hall of Fame" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Sep 27 2011, 12:03 PM) This is now the official criteria for getting nominated for the RRHOF: 1. Be any rock, pop or hip hop act/producer with a minimum of two albums that sold some copies 2. Not be a prog rock band That's it. I'm sure there are lots of connections there - producers, promoters, someone who at one time kissed Jan Wenner's ass and told him it smelled like a fresh spring day.

drbirdsong Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 If a band were accepted into the Hall and then said, "No, I'm not coming in until you put Rush in." then it might happen, but it would have to happen more than once. Even if that unlikely event ever occurred I think both the Hall of Fame and Rush would say "no go" at that point, but the Hall should be shamed into saying that they have overlooked Rush as well as several other bands that should have been there before several lame choices. Whatever, I quit caring about the Hall of Shame a long time ago. It was never a good idea and became a joke within a few years of opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbirdsong Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) I'm making a vow to never reply to one of the threads ever again. I'm almost certain that someone from the RRHoF is reading them and getting way to much pleasure from pissing off Rush fans. I think I'll let it all go and eat some Edit: I just reached 500 posts and became a Prime Mover. Now that means almost nothing to me, but way more that "The Place That Will Not Be Named".

It's not just Rush, it's any prog group. They really hate prog. I think the only reason Genesis got there was because of the huge pop swing they took in the 80's. Honestly I don't really have a problem with any of these people getting into the RRHOF but I just don't understand the prog bias.

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 This is really getting ridiculous. There has been such an outcry the last couple years from so many people from different industries about Rush and Kiss not being in there....it's totally putting a negative light on the R and R hall of Fame and they continue to snub both. I think at this point they are saying F.U. to everyone and will never let Rush in out of spite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually love Donovan and think he deserves it, but that doesn't make the RRHOF nominating committee any less of a bunch of pathetic f*cking losers. So there's a rock and roll hall of fame WITHOUT Rush, Yes, Jethro Tull, Kiss, ELP, The Moody Blues, King Crimson and Deep Purple? Are you f*cking kidding me???

Oracle Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Even if they do get in, there's still going to be fans bitching because it took so long. The RnR HOF will be damned if they do vote them in and damned if they don't. I honestly don't care if they get in or not, because I'm happy with what they've given to me as a fan. They've had a great career so far and have the chops to prove it day in and day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBluePhoenix Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 There's obviously a bias against them for some reason. At this point I say "So what?" If they got in tomorrow would it even matter? Would it make up for being snubbed for the past 12 years? We know that they're more worthy than many bands that are already in. I know that Rush is one the greatest rock & roll bands of all time. Many don't get it but I'm OK with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
